Squares in suits, working in cubicles in some city high rise company, are having a secret bachelor party in the building and will be the unfortunate victims of Bobby Ray Shafer's lunatic, devil-worshiping cop who seems impervious to pain (an ax to the stomach is merely a flesh wound and a fall down an elevator shaft several floors barely makes him limp while chasing the "final heroine"). That's it in a nutshell. While dropping lame endless kill and cop quips, Shafer has his fun decimating practically all characters he comes in contact with. A pencil to the eye, a spear that skewers two adulterous lovers to a wall, a toss of a bimbo off the balcony into a garbage bin below, gun shots that spread the back of skulls to the wall, and even a snapped neck, Shafer has plenty of victims to murder in various ways. I think "Psycho Cop Returns" (I'm not sure any sequel to the wretched original was ever begged for) was an example of the tired slasher genre DOA at the beginning of the 90s. It seems nobody told these guys that people had become numb to these movies by 1992.The murders are, at some points, somewhat well orchestrated, but the flat, often very obtrusive score (it even tells us when we are supposed to laugh at Shafer's dull jokes which are as obvious and old hat as his comedy killer routine) even ruins what could have been (and still somewhat is) a sizzling softcore sex scene between the attractive, sweaty, pulsating bodies of Justin Carrol and Carol Cummings. Julie Strain is recognized in the credits as "1993's Penthouse Pet of the Year", and she shows up as one of the strippers for the bachelor party (and subsequently the one of many to be on Shafer's kill-list body count). Barbara Niven, as the super-hot accountant, is the heroine of the picture, who will try to out-maneuver the seemingly unkillable Shafer, but everything she tries fails because he just doesn't die. I mean, how can this man outlast a five-minute beat down on the outside of a beer joint as barflies lay into him with aluminum bats repeatedly?!?! He even takes a flaming hairspray via cigarette lighter to the face and seems good to go not long after as if it was merely a scratch for Petesake! I know defenders of this pile of bile will say to me, "Scarecrow, why don't you lighten up? It's not to be taken seriously. It's all in good fun." But, come on, how far can I suspend my disbelief? Really, are the jokes in this really *that* funny? I guess some will say yes, but I just wanted it over as soon as possible. When chicks with overexposed fake tits even bore me, I know the film has no reason to exist. I noticed Niven has stayed busy, she sure was sexy in this movie, but easily duped by Shafer into dropping a gun at the promise he wouldn't shoot the victim in the head is certainly one of many "head-scratching" moments in this dire misfire. Miles Dougal, as the nerdy Brian, is positively painful in his role, whether he's in hysterics or really nervous, everything is heightened to an absurd degree. Oh, vey.Shafer resurrected himself on "The Office" as Bob Vance, a wonderful supporting part that has really given his career a needed boost from junk such as the Psycho Cop films. I imagine, no matter what I say about this insipid waste of time, many will still celebrate this as bad-movie heaven—eat your hearts out. Ugh.

Psycho Cop Returns (1993) is a movie that entertained me, very low budget and very poor acting, but i found it to be pretty fun!!!! Bobby Ray Shaffer once again plays the "psycho cop" officer Vickers, who gatecrashes an office party, the party is filled with dorky young men and strippers!! Psycho Cop wants to kill them all off one by one and stalks and slashes his way through the party, but can anyone stop him before everyone is dead?? Shaffer is great fun as the "Psycho Cop" and comes out with loads of funny one liners during his killing spree!! Like i said before, this was all good fun and kept me entertained for the 85 minute duration, there's some gore, some hot sex and plenty of sexy women on show, i haven't seen the 1st Psycho cop movie but i've heard it's not as fun or gory as this one!! I rate this movie 7/10, recommended for fans of the Maniac cop series!!

Hilarious. I viewed the original "Psycho Cop" a few years ago and found it to be... actually, it is one of the worst films of all time. So, I saw the sequel in a store, and I immediately remember that all sequels to horrible horror films ("Sorority House Massacre", anyone?) are usually way more entertaining than the original. And, wow, is this movie ever entertaining. I'm not sure how anyone could watch the first movie and approve a sequel, but this is totally better than anything else in the horror/comedy genre.Psycho Cop is Officer Joe Vickers, a man on a mission. He's on a mission to kill people and utter one-liners. He wanders around an officer building and stabs a man in the eye and goes, "Keep an EYE OUT for me." Then, he throws someone down an elevator shaft and says, "That's the problem with elevators -- you always end up GETTING THE SHAFT." Every punchline is delivered with such grace and such bravado that it's as if Jerry Seinfeld himself wrote the one-liners.All the actors are amazingly hilarious. You have a dorky guy with shark teeth and you have a bunch of strippers. While this movie may actually only be an excuse for some girls to run around and scream while wearing black thongs, it is still one of the greatest films ever and worth the $4 you'll find it for in most places. Totally wonderful.

Okay, for those who believe this movie is cheap, I totally agree. But, this is one of those films where the filmmakers are not taking themselves or their script seriously, on purpose! Psycho Cop and Psycho Cop 2 are excellent movies under the influence of alcohol, especially when things have calmed down. I love this movie b\c it is so easy to make fun of, thanks to the cheesy editing and God-awful, but hilarious one-liners. Officer Joe Vickers is simply a great villain, not for his intimidation or acting prowess, but b\c he looks like an insane asylum escapee. Gotta love when he reads the dead guy his right b\c, "even though it's extremely strange b\c [he's] dead!" I recommend this movie to those out there who can lighten up and enjoy a movie for pure enjoyment and not it's big budget or list of high rate actors. 6/10.
